The table is set for a wonderful leftover Thanksgiving feast over in Green Books:
• Anwyn’s Counterpoint has a juicy warning for all movie-going fans to retain their original imaginings of LOTR.
• Turgon’s Bookshelf percolates with intense responses from readers who took issue with his sobering “What I Fear Most about PJ’s Movies!”
• Our new Special Guest remembers Mythcon 32 and an up-close encounter with LOTR screenwriter Philippa Boyens!
• Guy Davenport (Geography of the Imagination, Da Vinci’s Bicycle) pays Tribute to JRRT.
• Moon Letters has excellent new Fan Fiction and Poems. Keep sending your best, and we will showcase it here.
• Stuff yourself silly on 19 fantastic new Questions & Answers, including:
- Where did the Elves get their wine?
- The origin of the Ring Verse?
- Why must all things fade?
- Could Frodo be the new Dark Lord?
- Tell us of the Haradrim.
- Are there hobbitish professions?
• There are new updates in red to previous Q&A.
• SPECIAL NOTE: Be here Monday for a full report on my trip down to New Zealand to visit Middle-earth! Thrill to my first-hand account of meeting the director and stars, seeing the sets, living the dream of Gondor and more. A five part series that begins 26 November 2001!
Much too hasty,
Quickbeam
